Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“I love Spring Forest Cemetary; Historical and very old and lots of old trees and Hydrangea Bushes. Fifty acres and surrounded by iron wrought fence and gate and has the caretaker's home there . Love walking there and meditating at the various plots where one can sit and look out at the expansive sky and lawns. Old families and Founders of Binghamton buried there.”
— Vera Scroggins (Progressive Media)
“Beautiful final venue. Grounds maintained to a high standard. Peaceful quiet and now that film factory is gone even nicer.”
— Stephen Uram
“Was up there visiting my family and went to my grandpa grave site in the veterans part. What a shame the stones are coming off also the plaques are completely off the grave site and the ground is sinking in where they are buried and like I said this is our veterans! I need to know who to report this to so it can get fixed its a dam shame!”
— Susan Files
